    This document discusses the difference between "make" and "let" when used in the context of forcing or allowing someone to do something. "Make" implies forcing an action without choice, while "let" means allowing or giving permission for an action. Both "make" and "let" are followed by the agent or object of the action and an infinitive verb without the word "to".
